Inferno by Dan Brown

As any Dan Brown fan, I can say that I was extremely excited when a new Robert Langdon book was announced. However, after the lackluster The Lost Symbol, I went in not expecting too much out of Brown, and I think that was a wise choice. The book follows Robert Langdon after he wakes up in a hospital in Florence, with no recollection of what's happened in the past 36 hours, and with random people trying to kill him (go figure!). A beautiful, smart, young woman helps him escape and we begin a journey through Florence in a race to find an item that could change the course of history forever.

I enjoyed the book quite a lot, it was better than The Lost Symbol, but it pales in comparison with Angels & Demons (which is Robert Langdon's first--and best-- adventure to date). I just didn't feel the need to know what came next like I felt with Angels & Demons. But the fact that Robert Langdon has amnesia added a nice touch of mystery, and keept me entertained.
As always you can expect the change in POV, and Dan brown does a great job in using POV's to add mystery, and make the reader question what they already know, or what they think they know.
Thought Dan Brown did a great job blending art, literature and history together to map out Robert Langdon's adventure in the book, it fell a little short for me. That may be because I'm not as familiar with the works referenced in this book, as I was with the works referenced in Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. 

Overall it was a good read. I would definitely recommend it if you happen to be a Dan Brown fan.

Rating: ★★★½ (I gave it a 4 on goodreads.com because you can't do half-stars there)
